Legal & General has become the preferred provider for Income Protection for Nationwide Building Society.
Nationwide's financial planning managers (FPMs) will now offer customers Legal & General's Income Protection Benefit using Legal & General's point of sale system OLP Connect.
Rob Angus, head of protection and investments at Nationwide Building Society, said: "It's a key part of our protection proposition and will ensure that we can offer the protection our customers need to protect their lives, homes and families".
This is the first time FPMs have had the ability to offer a point of sale decision for Income Protection.
Julie Greenwood, partnership director at Legal & General said: "Nationwide is a key strategic partner and I am delighted that we have been chosen to be the Income Protection provider which means that Income Protection now joins our existing protection and savings range."
